q1 i? As underlying assumptions vary, the foundations, features, and methods of the learning environment change accordingly, regardless of specific biases or perspectives. → Land 1996

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Conceptual argument in the Foundations section. The authors illustrate that objectivists and constructivists reference the same foundation pool but "derive distinctly different strategies based upon altered underlying assumptions." No empirical test is reported.

"The underlying assumptions,then, dictate how the foundations will be operationalized in any environment. As the assumptions vary, thefoundations, and hence the features and methods, of the learning environment change accordingly."
